Galedin Veterinary- Livestock Services

Galedin Veterinary- Livestock Services Helping the Scottish Border’s and Northumberland farms achieve maximum productivity. Our journey to become Galedin Vets began over 100 years ago.

In 1817, Robert Glaister was invited and paid 50 guineas by the Border Union Agricultural society to move his practice from Wooler in Northumberland, to Kelso. Whether it's your small household pet, your horse or your livestock that need our attention, our team of over 30 vets have broad collective experiences to ensure that your animal gets incomparable care. But how do you pronounce 'Galedin'? Well, that depends on who you ask, but we say it "Gah-Ledd-Inn".

The Livestock Team are getting underway with scanning spring calvers. This is a great time of year to scan for accurate ageing of pregnancies - here are a few examples of how we do it.

This herd had a range of pregnancies from 5 through to 15 weeks:

🐂 4-10 weeks - crown to rump length
🐂 10 - 14 weeks - trunk diameter
🐂 15+ weeks - eye socket diameter and cotyledon size

Four of our vets are preparing for an epic 1,189-mile cycle ride from Land’s End to John O’Groats in memory of a popular colleague who tragically took her own life.

They are hoping to raise awareness of su***de and mental health, and also raise money for two charities in honour of colleague Kirsty who sadly died by su***de.

Maria Mylne, Mary Hall and Callum McRoberts, who work at our branches in Kelso and Galashiels, will be joining Kirsty’s partner Chris Burn, who used to work at the
practice.

They set off from Land’s End on September 23rd and will arrive in John O’Groats on
October 18th .

They’re aiming to turn their grief into something positive by helping others who may be struggling with their mental health or contemplating su***de, whilst raising much- needed funds for two charities, Vetlife and The Canmore Trust.

Their fundraising page can be found at: justgiving.com/team/lejogawareness

⚠️ Disease Alert ⚠️

With the wetter harvest there are two fungal infections of grain that can cause serious illness in humans and livestock which we may see more of.

We are asking you to be be aware.

Ergot is a hard black mass in place of a grain. In a feed mill this should be excluded from feeds so the risk is highest from grain retained on farm as stock feed. It can cause lameness, seizures, and death amongst other symptoms.

Fusarium can be seen as a pink grain once harvested or white heads in a standing crop. Fusarium releases mycotoxins reducing appetite and damaging the immune system.

See AHDB release for more info:

Livestock farmers in the UK are being encouraged to be familiar with how to spot for signs of ergot and fusarium, as there could be an increased presence of the two types of fungi in grain harvested this summer.

Three ways to minimise toxo risk:

🐈Restrict cat access to water and feeding areas, particularly where pregnant ewes are housed.

🐁Implement effective rodent control using healthy, dewormed cats.

🐦Ensure comprehensive prevention of infectious causes of abortion by covering all feed and deterring wild birds from gaining access.

It’s tup testing time! Book in with us now to get your tups tested to ensure they’re in the best condition ahead of putting them with your ewes.

What’s included?
🐏 Ram MOT – toes, teeth and testicles
🔬 Semen sample analysis

Getting tups tested in good time for the breeding season can ensure you have enough time to source replacements if any issues are identified. You can also discuss optimal nutrition with your vet on the run up to a busy time of year for your tups.

Contact the practice to book in.
